Madison Messier Named First Team All-NECC

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Elms College sophomore Madison Messier (Warren, Mass.) was selected to the All-New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) First Team, announced by the league office Monday afternoon.

Messier had a record-breaking sophomore campaign, setting new program single-season marks in points (40) and goals (17), surpassing the records set by Emily Halkett in the 1989 and 1986 seasons, respectively. For the season, Messier ranked second in the NECC in goals and points, and fourth in assists with six and shots with 61. In conference play, Madison scored 11 goals in 10 games with four assists for 26 points.
